“Langmoon, you…” My voice trembled. She coughed up more blood but seemed not to feel pain, still smiling softly at me. I realized something and hurriedly said, “The King is outside. I’ll call him in.”
“No, I look too ugly. The King definitely won’t like it.” She smiled, and I felt my eyes growing wet, biting my lips to prevent tears. She sat on the bed and beckoned me closer. I walked to her side, and she opened her arms to hug my waist, murmuring, “It’s so cold. Jiao Long, I should go see Father, or he’ll say I’ve forgotten him now that I have a husband.”
“Yes, go see your father. He loves and cherishes you more than anyone…” I patted her back.
“Bang—” The door was suddenly pushed open. Ye Suo and the late Water Ruo Han stood at the door, staring at me. Ye Suo’s misty white eyes glanced down at Langmoon and slowly walked to her bedside.
Seeing Ye Suo, Langmoon’s eyes instantly sparkled. Ye Suo leaned down and put his ear close to her lips.
gh floated out. The hand around my waist slipped down, and I suddenly felt cold. Tears burst from my eyes in an instant.
夜锁 looked at me, his face expressionless. Suddenly, he turned, bent down, and picked up Langyue from the bed, then rushed out of the room. I exchanged a puzzled glance with Shuo Ruhan and then followed.
At the tombs of Suo Mu Lang and Xiao Cheng, two attendants were holding Langyue’s coffin. Ye Suo had been digging the earth with his hands, his face devoid of expression for nearly an hour. I stared blankly at his almost crazy actions. Was he only now seeing Langyue’s love? Was he feeling guilty? Under the light of the lanterns, his hands digging the earth were seeping with blood stains. The attendant couldn’t bear to help and was kicked away by him.
As a trace of light appeared on the horizon, the pit was dug by hand. He remained expressionless as he carried the coffin and slowly lowered it…
I never thought Langyue’s death would hit Ye Suo so hard. He had been kneeling locked in front of the former king’s tomb for five days and nights, and no one knew what he was thinking…
